Prof. Genealogy
Chris Kapp, Professional Genealogist
Dedicated to finding your ancestors
Specializing in German, Austrian, Swiss, and American Ancestry including adjacent countries. Because we speak German and English fluently and understand French, Spanish, Dutch, and Norwegian, we understand source material more accurately and quicker as well as how to interface with archives and government registries to get to the nuggets of information that you need.
We practice what we promise, and in my personal family tree going back to the early 1500s, I have been able to identify major emigrations out of Germany to the Netherlands, the Balticum, South Africa, Brazil, Hungary, the US, and Canada to name a few. We found famous relatives, amazing documents and diaries, pictures, and more. --------------Imagine what we can do for you!
This wonderful map showing the German Federation from the 1800s illustrates well the difficulty of understanding German and German-speaking origins. Native non-German speakers are part of this state, too! Almost all of these borders have changed. It requires a lot of expertise to navigate these complexities. ------------------Fortunately, we can help you here.
